Movie Review (English)

The Wolf of Wall Street


Another power packed performance by Leonardo. Scorsese never lets me down. This is the thrilling real life story of the rise and fall and rise again of Jordon Belfort, a New York stockbroker. But why so much of debauchery?! Drugs and Sex seemed a better title for the movie. The movie moves with the premise that every one and everything has a price. It’s a scary world that opens up the immense possibilities with money and the vast black hole somewhere down the road waiting to engulf you. And then you no longer remain yourself. You are a distorted shadow of yourself who thinks you have got it all, that you are the King of the World till this world comes crashing down taking everything away. But for those who have sold their souls to money, drugs and sex, there is finally no coming back on the path originally taken. The black hole is a companion for them.I am now a little scared to see Leo’s films. They are getting too dark.  Have also learnt – NEVER EVER INVEST. Thanks!
